Go Outside
If you picked The Stanley Parable up recently and want this achievement, you can launch the game and exit, then go to “Date & Time” in Time & Language settings to manually adjust the date to five years in the future, giving you this achievement once you relaunch the game. You need to disable the “set the time automatically” feature so you can manually change the date in your settings.
Speed run – Freedom Ending guide
Play through the game as you normally would up until you enter 2 8 4 5 on the keypad behind the desk in manager’s office. Going through this quickly will annoy the Narrator, who plays calming new-age music to delay your speed run attempt while you wait for the secret area to open. Once inside the elevator, you need to descend to the bottom, leave it, and start the playthrough from the beginning. The Narrator will open the secret doors automatically when you enter the manager’s office this time around. Again, take the elevator down, leave, and begin the game again by selecting this option on the pause screen.
Keep restarting the game until you get a different starting screen than the standard one. This will move you closer to the left and right doors, removing a bunch of time spent where you’d normally be walking. The secret door will be open, letting you into the elevator, and down into the Mind Control Facility. Turn off the Mind Control in Facility Power to get the Freedom Ending.
